Hi, My name is Shawn Slack, I have been sailing since 2014 when I got the sailing dream and purchased the Ocean Annie, a 26ft sloop . Mostly day sailing on Lake Ontario but there are a few longer trips. The conditions are extremely variable on the lake, so no set it and forget it!. I have crewed for other people and have found it to be a great learning experience. Easy going, safety conscious, physically fit non-smoker. I don't have any medical conditions or allergies that could become a issue. I have worked in industry for most of my adult life, so ive seen/been in lots of breakdowns, had to fix them and get going again. I was a first responder for 10 years, different skills more medical, physical rescue. | |
